Product Description:
The AL2018-0000-0001 linear motor is manufactured by Beckhoff Automation which is a manufacturer of advanced automation technologies. The motors of AL series are specially designed for industrial applications that require a linear motion control with high precision. The AL 20xx series is a series of motors of the same width motor but with different lengths, so as to meet the varying needs of application.
The AL2018-0000-0001 linear motor is built of aluminum alloy and this is how it is lightweight, at the same time structurally strong. Anodizing the motor’s surface improves the motor’s resistance to corrosion and wear. Total weight is 0.35 kg, and the length, width, and height are 120 mm, 40 mm, and 20 mm respectively. A panel mounting option is included with 6.5 mm diameter mounting holes that make easy and secure installation of the motor possible. Precision mechanical assembly is supported by dimensional tolerance of ±0.2 mm. The AL2018-0000-0001 linear motor is suitable for industrial harsh environments with operation as reliable as -40°C to 85°C. Its compact dimensions and stable build quality along with its optimized heat dissipation ensure steady long term performance.
The AL2018-0000-0001 linear motor is designed for use in automation systems based on Beckhoff’s motion control and drive technology. The AL20xx series supports consistent form factor integration since the models have a standard width. This feature makes the system layout and modular design easier. It can be implemented in equipment like pick and place machines, CNC systems and other high performance industrial machine. With the support of operational stability, the motor’s compact size makes it ideal for environments where space is limited but dynamic linear force is required. It is optimized for Beckhoff’s EtherCAT based drive systems.
Frequently Asked Questions about AL2018-0000-0001:
Q: How does anodizing benefit the AL2018-0000-0001 motor beyond corrosion resistance?
A: Anodizing also enhances surface hardness and thermal emissivity. This improves mechanical wear resistance and heat dissipation during extended operation.
Q: Why is a unified form factor beneficial in the AL20xx series like AL2018-0000-0001?
A: It allows system designers to interchange motor lengths without redesigning the mounting layout. This promotes modularity and quick scalability in automation systems.
Q: What advantages does Beckhoff’s EtherCAT integration bring to the AL2018-0000-0001 motor?
A: EtherCAT enables real-time communication with minimal latency. It ensures synchronized control in multi-axis automation setups.
Q: Can the AL2018-0000-0001 linear motor operate in vibration-prone environments?
A: Yes, its rigid structure and secure mounting options help maintain stability. It's engineered to resist mechanical disturbances common in industrial settings.
Q: How does the compact 120 mm length of the AL2018-0000-0001 impact installation flexibility?
A: Its short length allows installation in tight spaces without sacrificing performance. This is ideal for compact automated machinery or retrofit applications.
